Answer: The Magic Roundabout

The roundabout could be seen turning with five horses, one empty, and the others being ridden by two boys and two girls. One of the girls was called Florence (Q 1). I don't remember names for any of the others - there were mentions of 'one of the boys' (Q 2). Dylan (Q 3), the rabbit, chilled out playing his guitar. Mr. McHenry could be seen zooming around on his tricycle (Q 4). Dougal (Q 5) was a dog who looked like a bundle of fur with a face on one end. The spotted cow (Q 6) wearing a blue hat and chewing on a flower was called Ermintrude. Brian (Q 7) was the snail. Mr. Rusty (Q 8) operated the roundabout. The programme usually finished with Zebedee (Q 9) bouncing in on his spring and saying, "Time for bed!".

Serge Danot originally created "The Magic Roundabout" in France in 1963, where it had the title "Le Manège Enchanté". Ivor Wood helped to produce the films. When the BBC bought the series Eric Thompson wrote and performed new scripts for the original films. New names were also chosen for the characters in the British version. The BBC broadcast the 441 five minute episodes between 1965 and 1977. The version shown in the United States was re-titled as "The Magic Carousel".
